Let's talk SS brake lines

Anyone brought out the bags?

tapatalk, it sucks

 

We are way to fucked up for bags.

I don't recall if anyone made it in the hole last year either.

It's hit or miss whether we have a bad winter or not. But I know we don't get it nearly as bad as other places.

 

Finally got around to installing my brake stop tech brake lines using ate typ 200 fluid, omg the difference! Definitely worth it, also did a clutch bleed while I was at it shifting it wonderful, big thanks to @Chemmedic for working the pedals and pulling the clips for me. I'd definitely recommend those stop tech lines to anyone

 

Did you ever end up having this done? Looks like I'm going to have to cut and re flare, the line in order to get @Chemmedic lines done, pb blaster and flare wrenches and nothing, other than stripped nut, rounded out nothing even with vice grips.

Does anyone know the size / specs of the new "nut" I'd need to get to connect into the lines.

Is there even enough space to get a flaring tool in there?

 

I'll let you know how it goes in a few weeks.

 

That looks like a new line?

 

Yeah. I have no idea how to flare lines and I'm not trusting my neighbor to do it. I do have these little girl engineer hands though

 

I couldn't even get the dam line out of the main block it was seized in there good... hit that with pb blaster before I even tried moving it
So I don't know what we're going to do with his car.

 

Try a torch?

 

That's next, nut is fairly round (front left) only one we've attempted hopefully it'll come with torch and vice grips, my concern is what happens if that doesn't work and I melt the rubber lines...

 

Lol. Don't heat it until its glowing. Or fashion some kind of shield to repel the heat.

@Adamizme can give some insight on replacing the driver size hard line.

 

True, part of me just wants to cut and re flare... need to be sure there's enough room, and I need to get the right fitting to put on it...dunno what size fitting to get

 

^ never even thought of that. Nice.

 

Ahhhh, mechanical ingenuity. I remember how impressed I was when I first saw how you can use two crescent wrenches together to get a lot of extra torque on a stubborn bolt

 

I just cut the line above the block and used a socket. Came right out.

 

hax.
